What were you trying to do?
use xnetprob
What snide remark would you make now, if you were reading this bug report?
well, no wonder you had a problem
Cute, but can you be more specific about what you were trying to do?
Yes, I was trying to close 2 views that had been open, that I
didn't expect to need in the near future. First I brought up the view
editor, then I double clicked "New Tickets" then selected closed, then
clicked save. I watched it think and re-paint the screen for a little
while, then repeated the process for "foo-view". It thought and did
some painting and then segfaulted.
What's wrong:
I can consistently get it to segfault.
What snide remark would you make NOW, if you were reading this bug report?
...and this is news?
Well, is it?
Yes, actually, it is, because this is a new and improved way
to get it to coredump.
What should have happened:
Well it should have instantaneously re-painted the window
without the views I closed, and done the next 3 things I was going to
ask it to do. However I would settle for it re-painting the screen
after a minute or two, and being ready to take the first of my next
three requests.
Please describe any relevant documentation references:

~jweiss/n.dcns/{.netprobrc5.0,core.xnetprob.close_view} which are my
netprobrc, before starting xnetprob, and the corefile it produced.
Is there anything else you'd like to say?
Yes, I'd like to thank Chad for giving me the idea of adding
silly sections to bug reports.
